Earrings - 18 kt. Yellow gold

Pair of Cat Earrings - 18kt Yellow Gold 750 & Hand-Painted Enamel - Attributed to Gabriella Rivalta - Animal Collection I cannot guarantee the attribution with 100% certainty as they were a gift from 33 years ago, so I do not have the original packaging and there is no signature on the jewel. Description: Vintage pair of pendant earrings in the style of Gabriella Rivalta, Italian art jewelry. Technique: enamel grand feu hand-painted on copper base, with ball, pin and butterfly in 18kt gold - exactly the official Rivalta construction. Hallmarked 750 on ball and butterfly (see macro photos). Front: detailed hand-painted tabby cat with blue eyes. Reverse: pink counter-enamel. Artisanal gold bezel, not cast. Condition: excellent, enamel intact, gold with light vintage handling marks visible only in macro. Weight: ~3.2g total / Size: ~2cm pendant. No original box. Sold as attributed due to missing full signature, but construction, hallmarks and painting are fully consistent with Rivalta. Splendidi orecchini pendenti a forma di gattino, attribuiti a Gabriella Rivalta, la celebre maison veneziana famosa per i gioielli in miniatura dipinti a mano. Storia: appartengono alla collezione Animali / Cuccioli / Fiabe, la più ricercata dai collezionisti. Ogni pezzo Rivalta è un'opera unica dipinta interamente a mano con la tecnica dello smalto a gran fuoco. Materiali: Sagoma in rame smaltato fronte/ retro, montatura, pallina, perno e farfallina in oro giallo 18kt punzonato 750 (verificato). La tecnica è proprio quella ufficiale: dipinti a mano con smalti a gran fuoco su sagoma in rame, con amo, biglierina e marchietto in oro 18 carati. Dipinto incredibilmente dettagliato: occhioni azzurri con punto luce, pelo sfumato, nasino rosa. Movimento pendente grazie all'anellino di giunzione artigianale. Condizione: Ottime condizioni, smalto integro e lucido, oro senza usura. Leggere micro-ammaccature sul bordo tipiche della lavorazione a mano del periodo vintage (anni '80/'90) visibili solo in macro.
